I'm in NZ and have the same problem mate... Get those bottles some place warm. My latest stalled batch I put in the hot water closet... carbed up nicely. Another thing I like to do is have a test bottle which is plastic... You can get a better understanding on how carbonation is going by...

Just wanted to say thanks for this recipe...came out really great...probably one of my best yet! Thought I'd share a photo of the results...bottle conditioned for about three weeks. Cheers! T

After a few days on the fruit.

Hi guys, I'm way on the dry side on my latest batch and trying to fix it with some mysterious powder from my local hbs. I've attached pics for reference. Anyone ever use this stuff before? Any tips? Thanks in advance! T

@flyingfinbar... hope this helps buddy. Its the combination of the Motueka and Nelson Sauvin that really take it to the next level. I did a three stage dry hop over 12 or so days... results were great! The aroma profile for this beer is insane. I mashed low for a fermentable wort, and pitched...

http://www.nzhops.co.nz/varieties/index.html For reference... I've been in NZ for about a year now and have totally love the hops here. I recently made a IIPA and applying a rigorous dry hop schedule, and it came out great. Really amazing smells of tropical fruit... my girl friend swears she...

Brew day went well... But the beer came out more brown than I'd have hoped. At least that's how it looks in the fermenter at present... Had a bit of a orange hue though when I was taking my gravity reading. I'll keep you guys posted... Still early days yet.

I'm going to brew this one up on the weekend... Will post back with some pics if I remember. Planning to ferment with safale 05. Thanks for the recipe Mystic!

I'm feeling lucky!

Good day gentlemen! With a couple of interesting life changes I now find myself living in New Zealand. I'm looking forward to starting up again with home brewing and trying out some of these excellent NZ hops! Looking forward to spending more time here on HBT. Thanks! Tyson

Good advice guys.... thanks!

Hey all... i'm getting set up again for some brewing. When I was living overseas I had a hard time finding gear... so just made due with what I could find. I'm back in Canada now... and can get pretty much anything I want. I'm shopping for a brew kettle for making some tasty extract...

For real? Thanks for the lead Camel! I checked out the EHG website.... looks like a cool group.

Sweet action... I'm on the hunt!

Do you remember how much it was? I'm can't find any price info online... I'm guessing its more than the cheap one at Canadian Tire. Which is cool... cause who wants crappy cheap stuff?

Hi guys thanks for the info. I'll have to check out Rona... didn't think of that. I'm in Edmonton. Bloody cold here! And as a quick edit/update.... found this cool burner. http://www.bismar.com/en/24_rechauds/24_01_rechaudExterieur2.htm

Hey all, Moved back to the motherland (Canada) and now have to buy all new gear to get brewing some beer. I'm wondering if anyone can make some recommendations of online retailers that are based in Canada where I could pick up some equipment. I'm after a brew kettle, and i want to get a...

The girl who won Top Chef just set up a restaurant in Chicago... Any of you guys eaten there?
